My take on modern pop including hip hop is it's all become so simplified, which is probably my interpretation of the comfortableness you mention. There are no surprises in the songs, not musically, lyrically, or rhythmically. You can tell how overproduced they are and how the studio has taken little snippets only a few seconds long, layered them, repeated them, and loudened them. Then you've got the singers, many of whom who have a very limited vocal range and style so the songs are written with very simple, repetitive melodies, and then the vocals are autotuned to sound even less interesting.
